\u201cNo.\u201d Adriana\u2019s voice was firm, a quiet rebellion against the notion of betraying Eva. The thought weighed heavily on her heart.<\/p>\n
\u201cRelax,\u201d Curtis said, his tone light yet persuasive. \u201cWe\u2019re not getting divorced. Once you\u2019re genuinely pregnant, he won\u2019t have any reason to tear us apart.\u201d<\/p>\n
His words hung in the air, laced with a strange mix of hope and desperation. \u201cThe Lincolns have this ancient family rule\u2014no children outside of marriage, and no divorces while the wife is expecting.\u201d<\/p>\n
Curtis\u2019s fingers glided through her hair, an intimate gesture that sent shivers down her spine. \u201cSo, we just need to try a little harder, right?\u201d<\/p>\n
Adriana\u2019s mind raced, instantly grasping the implication behind his words. He wanted her to put in more effort in their intimate moments. The idea made her cheeks flush, and she couldn\u2019t help but think of Bonnie, who had always set a rather audacious example.<\/p>\n
\u201cOkay,\u201d she nodded rapidly, her heart pounding in her chest.<\/p>\n
But what if Harold kicked you out or seized your shares? The thought crept into her mind like a shadow, dark and foreboding.<\/p>\n
After a moment of silence, she hesitantly posed the question, \u201cBut\u2026 what if Harold retaliates?\u201d<\/p>\n
Curtis paused, a contemplative look crossing his face before a smile broke through. \u201cIf you\u2019re pregnant, he has no reason to kick me out. Besides, he\u2019s getting too old to handle everything on his own. If he tried, he\u2019d probably work himself to the bone.\u201d<\/p>\n
He seemed confident, but deep down, he knew Harold was more concerned with pushing him to marry Nicole than anything else. After everything that had transpired, it was likely Harold wouldn\u2019t bother Adriana for a while.<\/p>\n
\u201cThen\u2026 I\u2019ll do my best,\u201d Adriana declared, determination sparking in her eyes as she grabbed his hand and tugged him toward the stairs. \u201cCome on. Let\u2019s go make a baby.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cBabe\u2026\u201d Curtis chuckled, a hint of exhaustion in his voice as he wrapped his arms around her from behind, guiding her up the steps. \u201cBe nice to me, okay? I just got back overnight and spent the whole day flying. I\u2019m completely wiped out.\u201d<\/p>\n
Her ears flushed crimson at his playful tone. Was Curtis actually being cute with her? Her heart raced, and she dared not glance back, afraid to break the spell of this tender moment. That softer side of him was dangerously enchanting.<\/p>\n
\u201cDidn\u2019t Kenneth mention you\u2019d pick up Belinda?\u201d Curtis asked, his voice dropping to a more serious note. \u201cSleep with me for just two hours first, then we can go together.\u201d<\/p>\n
Adriana nodded, her thoughts shifting. \u201cYeah, she\u2019s been bullied at school. They call her a freeloader, saying she\u2019s just living off you. She\u2019s too proud to admit she feels like a burden, and now she despises school.\u201d<\/p>\n
Curtis fell quiet, his grip on her hand tightening as they entered the room. \u201cI\u2019m not exactly the best parent,\u201d he admitted, his voice barely above a whisper. \u201cLuckily, I have you.\u201d<\/p>\n
Adriana\u2019s heart tightened at his words. Did he treat Belinda so kindly because he still held feelings for Cynthia? She studied him closely, the question bubbling to the surface. \u201cCan I\u2026 ask something?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cGo ahead,\u201d he replied, changing into more comfortable clothes.<\/p>\n
Adriana hesitated, her voice soft as she turned away. \u201cWhy haven\u2019t you told Belinda that her mom is still alive? Doesn\u2019t she feel awful not having a mother around?\u201d<\/p>\n
Curtis froze mid-motion, his expression shifting as he processed her question. After a moment of silence, he finally spoke, his voice low and heavy. \u201cBack then, we weren\u2019t sure if Cynthia would ever wake up. Now that she\u2019s awake but still grappling with depression, her emotions are unstable. I don\u2019t want Belinda to worry or get her hopes up.\u201d<\/p>\n
Adriana nodded, understanding the weight of his decision. He was doing it all for Belinda\u2019s sake, but still, a nagging feeling lingered in her mind\u2014that some truths should be shared. Yet, she didn\u2019t want to challenge his judgment.<\/p>\n
After a quick shower, Curtis pulled Adriana close for a nap, wrapping her in his warmth. She nestled against him, careful not to stir, fearing that her movements might disrupt his much-needed rest.<\/p>\n
\u201cDon\u2019t stress about Grandpa. I\u2019ll handle it. Just relax\u2026\u201d His voice was rough and sleepy, a comforting lullaby as he held her tightly.<\/p>\n
\u201cCurtis\u2026\u201d Adriana looked up, curiosity piqued. \u201cDid you ever live in Govendale?\u201d<\/p>\n
He stiffened slightly, his eyes opening to meet hers. \u201cYeah\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat a coincidence! I lived in Harborton when I was twelve,\u201d she said, a smile breaking across her face as she snuggled deeper into his embrace.<\/p>\n
\u201cLet\u2019s sleep. Your eyes are red,\u201d she suggested, gently patting his back, coaxing him to surrender to the fatigue.<\/p>\n
Curtis swallowed hard, torn between exhaustion and desire. How could he possibly sleep like this?<\/p>\n
\u201cLet\u2019s make a baby,\u201d he murmured, suddenly flipping her beneath him, his lips crashing onto hers with a fervor that left her breathless.<\/p>\n
The kiss was raw and passionate, igniting a fire within her. She nervously met his gaze, then slowly wrapped her arms around his neck, surrendering to the moment.<\/p>\n
Bonnie\u2019s number-one rule echoed in her mind\u2014never ruin the mood. Whatever the sugar daddy desired came first.<\/p>\n
Taking the lead, Adriana felt a mix of awkwardness and temptation. Curtis was unable to resist her advances, and soon she felt dizzy, barely recalling how their clothes ended up strewn across the floor.<\/p>\n
Curtis, who had claimed he needed rest, didn\u2019t close his eyes even once. He pushed her limits for over an hour, before dragging her into the shower for yet another round.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe can\u2019t\u2026 be late,\u201d she reminded him, her voice breathless as reality began to seep back in. They still had to pick up Belinda.<\/p>\n
Finally, he relented, allowing her to slip away. Adriana touched her lips, swollen and tender from their fervent kisses. Her sugar daddy certainly had a penchant for that.<\/p>\n

The intimate moments shared with Curtis have ignited a spark within her, a fleeting escape from the weight of their complicated lives.
